This dramatization is based on the true story of Ted Kaczynski, who led the FBI on a 17-year manhunt after mailing and delivering a series of bombs that killed and injured many people. It takes us inside the early days of this intelligent killer’s mind, including a series of psychological experiments that might have influenced
Solo Stove’s propane griddle puts a perfect sear on steaks, smashburgers, veggies, and more. At lower temps, it’s great for pancakes and eggs. Its perfectly flat, stainless steel cooking surface heats quickly and evenly, reaching searing temperatures in about 7 minutes. Available in 22″ and 30″ versions, with an optional stand for the larger model.
While it won’t kick out the volume of the Bumpboxx BB-777s, the aiwa BackTrack Jr costs a lot less and still offers quality stereo sound.

The Berlin, Germany event included 70 road-legal cars with names like Volkswagen Schwimmwagen and Amphicruiser, each capable of cruising on water. It’s like Red Bull Flugtag but the vehicles don’t capsize.
We’ve seen coffee tables with screens built in, but this over-engineered table from Axes: Garage is significantly geekier. Inspired by the green computer displays in The Matrix, these guys built a tabletop loaded with LEDs which serve as backlights for a laser-cut grille packed with katakana characters that light up to replicate the movie’s falling
One of our favorite house sigils from Game of Thrones is House Stark’s wolf. In this video, Gader from Black Beard Projects shows how he used a low-poly papercraft model of the wolf’s head and made a version out of sheet metal.

Obsessed with Mario Kart World, engineer Sophia Tung made this real world version of the Tune Thumper bike. With the help of cabinet maker Joe DiMaio and her boyfriend, they created a fully functional version of the ride-on-boombox.
